And while I'm at it, I constantly hear them whining about how hard it is to balance specs/gear so that they work in both PVE and PVP. I'll give 'em a freebie:
Quote:
if(target == isPlayer || target == isPlayerMinion) { doPVPmechanics(); } else { doPVEmechanics(); }
There ya go. That'll be 2.2 million bucks for the use of my idea in your game.
And GC, I guarantee you the dev time saved by not having to balance one item for two uses will outweigh the time it takes to balance the two separate mechanics. Oh, and before you dismiss it, you already do this for resilience. 
Nice try but one line of code? A simple IF statement is gonna fix years and years of coding, millions upon billions of code, modules working with tens of thousands of others - amg its that easy!
I appreciate your effort in attempting to belittle the C team, however, I think they at least understand if statements.

I think there's 16,000 GC's growing in rows of pods in the basement of Blizzard HQ. When they need a new one, the husk peels open and out "crawls" another douchebag. They have a 2 day lifespan, and each one's behavior is slightly different than the last (ya know, cause it's Blizzard, and they "don't have the tech" to even get cloning done right.)
It's the same process used for all the Lady GaGas and politicians out there.
Just sayin.  |
